i will have one soon.. shes in a bunch of pieces right now.. it has a perfect pipe on it also.. im putting new cables on it, new pro taper clutch lever and a 2005 and up yz250 front master cylinder and brake line with the RMZ fork guards and new routing of the break line..
the carb has a 165, 52 and is on the 2nd clip... that seems alot leaner than what i have read.. it also has the complete boysen rad valve in it.. should get to ride it next weekend.. i cant wait..

Man thats a sweet looking 5 honey right there. Never thought of puttin yellow number plate backgrounds on. Looks rad :-D

thanks alot guys.. the bike has lots of nice stuff on it, but then had crappy cables, grips, and just small stuff.. its funny what people will spend money on, but never replace a clutch cabler or lever, or what ever... ill have new pics up this coming week..

Sweet bike. Get it dialed in and let it rip!
BTW what is the piece coming off the seat bolt mount area and going back to the fender? Sorry for me ignorance :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: ... we will see also the dark side of the moon.. :wink:
your seatcover should be tighter setted to the foam.
but on the first look, you got a good deal with it.
replace the worn cables and levers and you should think about a straight rear fender mod, like on "motorrads" bike. that would be finish in an amazing look :wink:

Congrats ! Thats a super clean bike ! Is this your first 500 ? If so, have another pair of underwear handy for the first time you hold the throttle WFO ! :-o
